User:Zenki7/Da Zenki notes! 2/Volume 1

This page is a subpage of my "Da Zenki notes! 2"-blog!

It features various stuff I'm currently preparing for our page related to Volume 1 of the Kishin Douji Zenki manga! These updates are still under construction, so we can't add them to the Volume 1 page just yet without messing everything up, though they will be added to it sooner or later.

Japanese Base Demo
This entry is related to various stuff from the Japanese base, which still needs lots of translation work to be done.

My first entry for this is going to feature a short replica of the Volume 1 page's first few sections, so I couldn't have presented this otherwise.

I also had the thought crossing my mind, that we should separate it with tabbers, so we can show the differences between the Japanese and the Chinese version side to side.

Cover and TOC Subs
While translatin' the Cover Subtitle and Table of Contents Subtitle from the Japanese Volume 1 and comparing them to Goki's and Seme's notes from the Chinese version, I came across this:

In the Chinese version, the Cover and TOC Subs are different, but in the Japanese one, they are always one and the same!

But this isn't all. While they are the same in the Japanese version, there is still one, minor difference, that's still important:

While the TOC Sub features the title both in its Kanji and Furigana writings, the Cover Sub only features the Kanji one!

Of cause, this is only a small detail, but it's still an important find, that will have a huge impact in the future, as it saves us some translation work!

Zenki's Awakening
The Volume: Zenki's Awakening is the first of twelve volumes of the original Kishin Douji Zenki manga series.

It introduces the reader to the main cast of the series, various tools used by the heroes and the villains and the main location of the series' events.

The original, Japanese title of this volume is Zenki kakusei no maki, which is featured via it's Kanji and Furigana writings, which are 前鬼覚醒の巻 and ゼンキかくせいのまき respectively.

While the Kanji writing can be both found in on the cover and in the table of contents of the physical copy, the Furigana writing is only present in the table of contents.
